Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 6 sausages (pork, chicken, or vegetarian)
Vegetables:
- 2 large potatoes, cut into cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
Seasonings and Oil:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and heating the oven to 400F (200C), ensuring optimal roasting conditions.
- Distribute cubed potatoes, bell pepper slices, and onions across the tray, creating an even layer for uniform cooking.
- Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, then generously season with thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper, thoroughly coating each piece to enhance flavor profiles.
- Strategically position sausages among the vegetables, allowing them to nestle comfortably and absorb surrounding seasonings.
- Transfer the tray into the preheated oven, roasting for 30-35 minutes and rotating sausages midway to guarantee even browning and consistent cooking.
- Monitor the traybake until sausages achieve a rich golden color and potatoes reach a tender, crisp texture, indicating complete preparation.
- Remove from oven and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
- Serve immediately while ingredients remain hot and aromatic, presenting a rustic and satisfying one-pan meal.
Notes
- Opt for different sausage varieties like chicken, turkey, or plant-based options to accommodate dietary preferences and create diverse flavor profiles.
- Chop vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Add extra spices like garlic powder, rosemary, or chili flakes to customize the flavor and make the dish more exciting and personalized.
- Use sweet potatoes or root vegetables as potato alternatives for added nutrition and a different texture, perfect for those wanting to boost vegetable intake.
